Sodium Gluconate Powder, 99.9%

Sodium Gluconate is a high-performance set retarder and water reducer widely used in the construction industry, particularly in concrete and cement-based systems. It is the sodium salt of gluconic acid, produced by the fermentation of glucose, and is known for its excellent chelating, dispersing, and stabilizing properties.Key Features: Effective Set Retarder: Delays the setting time of concrete, making it ideal for hot weather concreting and long-distance transportation. Water Reduction & Workability Enhancer: Improves the plasticity and fluidity of concrete mixes while allowing for lower water-to-cement ratios. Compatibility: Works synergistically with other admixtures such as SNF, SMF, and polycarboxylate ethers (PCEs). Anti-Corrosion Benefits: Chelates metal ions like calcium, iron, and aluminum, helping protect reinforcement bars from early corrosion. Eco-Friendly & Non-Toxic: Biodegradable and safe for use in green building practices. Applications: Ready-mix and site-mixed concrete High-performance and high-strength concrete Mass concrete pours (e.g., dams, foundations) Precast concrete elements Gypsum-based systems and dry-mix mortars
